I love Hummus... my husband loves Hummus... my children love Hummus... Mom loves Hummus... my brothers love Hummus... We ALL love Hummus... so I used to buy Hummus from a local lebanese restaurant, but then it was sometimes great, sometimes not so good, and sometimes not good at all... I asked Y., my aunt, (her in-laws are from Lebanon) if she knew how to make Hummus, well she didn't but she got the recipe for me...

Let me tell you a bit about Hummus:

Hummus means chickpeas... simple, isn't it?

It is one of the oldest known prepared foods

It is widely eaten in the Mediterranean and Middle East

When prepared with Tahini (sesame spread), it is named Hummus bi Tahina
